Whether you have been thinking about redoing your yard or completely remodeling your home, making over your house can help you create a home you love and want to live in. If you choose the right areas to focus on, your home’s value may increase over the years, and you may make that money back when you sell. There are several areas that are worthwhile to focus on.
Adding Upgrades to Help You Age in Place
More buyers are looking for their forever home, and features that allow them to age in place will be appealing to them. Consider adding handrails or widening doorways to accommodate walkers and wheelchairs. Another option is adding a home elevator, which allows for a seamless floor transition. You can utilize ultra slimline home elevators, a stylish upgrade that can add value to your dwelling.
Painting the Interior or Exterior
Paint can quickly change your home’s appearance without requiring you to make a large investment. It is less expensive to paint a room or the outside of the house than it is to redo the entire space. It is also relatively easy to do. Even if it costs several thousand dollars to do, it will still be less expensive than hiring someone to renovate your kitchen or landscape the entire yard. Neutrals are always safe, but light yellow could be another viable choice. Yellow is an optimistic color and it can make people happy when they see it.
Focusing on the Outside
While you may do most of your living indoors, focusing on the outside can brighten it up and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Consider adding fresh siding to the outside. You could even upgrade to a manufactured material that looks like stone. You may consider adding a deck as well. With a deck, you will have a space to enjoy the weather on a nice day and cook burgers. But it can also add value because buyers like that a deck allows you to easily transition from the inside to the outside. You may want to go for a rustic wood look. While composite might last longer and seem more efficient, many buyers are looking for real wood decks because they can feel more natural. Even if you finance your remodeling project the ROI on this type of renovation can be significant.
Landscaping the Yard
The front of any home is what makes the first impression on potential buyers. It’s the first thing potential buyers see when they visit, so adding improvements to this area will be worthwhile. Consider investing in perennial plants, which will come back each year. Bigger plants, like shrubs or even trees, may cost more to add, but they can also protect your yard because they can block run-off from stormwater and keep your yard from eroding. Plus, these larger plants can also help the environment because they reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Start by looking at the house from the front to see what areas will be seen by potential buyers first, and focus on these areas.
